Background
On May 2, 2025, it was speculated Chris Parketny, Cameron Perry and Ryland Raus have departed the band, with Wetzel being the only remaining member.[4] With this announcement, Wetzel has announced a new album Attack Attack! II will be released on August 8. The first single "Dance!" along with "Chainless" were released on May 9, revealing that Parketny, Perry and Raus have not left the band.[5] The two singles were noted as "a refreshing fusion of dance pop EDM and metal breakdowns, perfect for the Warped Tour scene adult who needs some metalcore to shake it to."[6] "Dance!" in particular is compared with Electric Callboy[7] and features guest vocals by Will Ramos of Lorna Shore.[8]
